He ran the game against us.   

He did? I must have missed that John.
I remember him making a bollocks of his clearance which allowed us to score.

Sorry, dont rate him.

Fellatio is a very good player, and still young and improving.  I think he's the right mix of aggression and skill that we need in our midfield.

He in particular is not what we need. I'd be gutted if we decided he was the player we desperately need in our midfield. Neither do I expect for one minute that Houllier would think so.

We need a player with tenacity and power but also the class and ability to boss a game which I do not think Fellaini does or ever will possess.

Fair enough - we seem to agree on most players, but I guess he's the exception.

Yes, he did mess up in that particular point, but what player doesn't make an error in most games?  After that everything Everton did went through him and he marked carew well for our set pieces. 

As I said, he's the blueprint of what I think our midfield is lacking.

I'd say Rodwell was. He's much, much better than Fellaini with far more potential. He would be very expensive and hard to get though, I know. But that's the sort of player I'd be after.

Fellaini is OK but his form seems to be very hit and miss and I think he lacks the mobility you need from a modern midfield player. He's also a dirty fucker who, if refs weren't all stupid twats, would spend the majority of the season suspended.

I'm with Mazrim on this one. Fellaini does have its bright sparks but his flashpoints would cause more damage than good. I wouldnt like to see some of his antics in a Villa shirt. Should be banned for some of the things he gets away with.

Everton supporting friend of mine said yesterday that he'd have been happy for Moyes to accept the Villa job with MON replacing him. Apparently the consensus is that hes took them as far as they can and they need someone new to bring in fresh ideas. Sound familiar?

When Moyes was touted as a better option than MON on here my answer was always that there is pretty much nothing between them and with similar resources I'd expect similar results and a similar league position.  MON would be a good choice for them if Moyes left, but we wouldn't improve them any.

I hear Olivier DaCourt is available.

I agree entirely. Moyes is very MON-esque.

Probably because he's 35.

Didn't Coopers injury always bang on about how signing Jermaine Beckford would save O'Neill's Villa career?  Weirdly then, it appears to have ruined that of David Moyes!

It's not all that weird when you factor in the fact that he was completely and utterly wrong about Jermaine Beckford.

So you're saying that Beckford isn't actually that good after all and that Coopers Injury was, well, erm, wrong?  Blimey.
